An Irish artist writes about all things art, life in the studio, setting up exhibitions, framing, painting tips and tutorials and about life in general.

Another new OIL PAINTING

This is another still life, using Vasari oils on 12x16" canvas board. My medium of preference is M. Graham's Walnut Alkyd Oil and, of course, a selection of bristle and synthetic brushes.

Much of the painting was laid down thinly, wet into wet. Subsequent layers and finishing details were glazed in once everything had dried.

OK, now that I have eaten all the fruit, this is the last of this series for the time being [except of course perhaps for the juicy pineapple I bought yesterday..... would be really good in watercolour!].

I will shortly start on some wildlife and landscape/seascape paintings next!
